The
reporting users do not have permission by default to create sub-category under
Reports category in Cisco Unified Intelligence Center. Contact your
administrator to get permissions.

Note

When
you save a report, the report description should not contain the following
special characters: parentheses pair (( )), angle bracket (>), forward slash
(/), question mark (?) and any executable scripts like JavaScript. Also, the
text should not start with a quote (") or quotation mark (' ).

Edit Views

Display
the available views. You can either create a new view or edit existing views.

Export a
report, including online help and localization files, to your computer. This
can be useful when you need to import the report into another Intelligence
Center System, for example from a Lab to a Production system.

A Report
Designer with Write permissions can export a custom report.

Run a
Report

Procedure

Step 1

In the
Reports tab, select the report that you want to run.

Step 2

Choose the
filters for your report.

Note

If the report designer has selected to bypass the filter dialog on the Report Editor page, the report will be generated. If the report designer does not select to bypass the filter dialog, selecting a report to view opens the Filters page for that report.

Step 3

Click
Run.

The generated
report displays in the Report Viewer page. See
Report Viewer.

Report
Viewer

When you run a
report, it displays in the Report Viewer. Its content varies, based on which
view (data presentation) of a report is selected—a grid, a chart, or a gauge.
You can change the report view on this page.

There are the two
types of Report Viewers:
the Historical and Real-time Report Viewer, and the Live Data Report Viewer.

The following
figure shows an example of a Historical and Real-time report viewer.

Figure 1. Historical
and Real-Time Report Viewer

Live Data Report
Viewer

Live Data reports
are based on an asynchronous event stream from a Live Data data source and are
updated in real-time.

The Unified
Intelligence Center Live Data Report Viewer allows you to do the following:

You can view
multiple grid views of the same report. Also, you can resize the column size.

Note

Live Data
reports supports only the grid view.

Edit the current
view

Auto-Refresh—When Auto-refresh check box is checked,
the system updates the data in the report as and when there are updates
available. If this check box is unchecked, you see the
"New Updates Available" alert message when new data is available
in the report. By default, this check box is checked for every report.

Show Thresholds
Only—When Show Thresholds Only check box is checked, only rows with
matching threshold values are displayed in the report. By default, this check
box is unchecked for every report.

Pop Out—Opens
the report in a new browser. The pop-out will display the Auto refresh and Show
Thresholds Only options.

Note

The default
settings are retained for the Auto refresh and Show Thresholds Only options.

You can add or
remove columns to the grid view using the gear icon.

Figure 2. Live Data
Report Viewer

Note

Any changes to
system time while the Live Data report is running are not taken into account.
If server or client is changed or adjusted, the report needs to be refreshed to
accurately display the duration field values.

Live Data Reports
that are active across a daylight savings time (DST) change do not display
correct values in the duration field. An active report needs to be refreshed
across a DST change.

Report Summary Rows

Many reports have one or several
Summary rows. These summaries are enabled in the Grouping page of grid editor
and show the footer values for the fields. You configure these values in the footer for each
report column in the Report Definition.

These footer values can be:

None (blank)
Footer values can be blank, for example, when a summary metric is not
applicable or it is illogical to summarize the value when the data is
null, and for intervals in certain call type reports, which are
configured values.

Avg (average of all items in the column)
Examples are percentages and the average length of time associated
with the value the column represents.

Sum (total of the values in the column)

Count (total of all items in the column)

Min (minimum value in the column)

Custom (calculation derived from a custom formula that was applied
to the footer value)
